"Letting You Go"

letting you go
was one of the hardest things i've ever had to do
i never thought we'd part
always thought i'd be with you

lies and games though took their toll
our lives were changed forever
so now i sadly let you go
no longer are we together

always you shall hold a place in my heart
though things are different now in many ways
i still will think of you from time to time
i wish you nothing but love and happiness to fill your days

you were the one true love of my life
everything i ever said to you was true
you just didnt ever realize how much i loved you
seriously don't think you ever had a clue

some days i think of you and smile
others i think of you and cry
if i ever said i dont miss you
that would be a bold faced lie

but things are better this way
sometimes things just aren't meant to be
and we have to find a way
to set the other person free

so fly butterfly
i hope you reach the sky
never look back with regrets
do not cry

i released you a while ago
but today i just wanted to let you know
as your lover and best friend
i completely let you go
